My application has a list of type MediaPlayer, I bind to in my XAML like so:

FlexLayout x:Name="FlexyAllCams" BindableLayout.ItemsSource="{Binding RTSPStreams}">
                <BindableLayout.ItemTemplate>
                    <DataTemplate>                      
                        <shared:VideoView x:Name="CameraView" MediaPlayerChanged="CameraView_MediaPlayerChanged" MediaPlayer="{Binding MediaPlayer, Mode=OneTime}" WidthRequest="150" HeightRequest="150"  HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand"></shared:VideoView>
                    </DataTemplate>
                </BindableLayout.ItemTemplate>
            </FlexLayout>

Everytime I switch to that content page it either works or doesn't, it's very inconsistent. What is really weird to me, is that VLC spams the console with messages like:

[VLC] [0000007c1bfc8d90/3822] libvlc window: libvlc_media_player options not set
[VLC] [0000007c370d1a90/38b2] libvlc vout display: parent window not available
[VLC] [0000007c370c0990/3822] libvlc video output: video output creation failed
[VLC] [0000007c3cd7fa10/3822] libvlc decoder: failed to create video output

Even when the stream is working perfectly fine, it still spams those messages. This is just have 1 item in the list.

I figured I would fix the "[VLC] [0000007c1bfc8d90/3822] libvlc window: libvlc_media_player options not set" error by setting some options, which it did get rid of that specific message, but it just got replaces by a tons of different messages.

Please share a minimal sample over git so we can have a look. My guess is you are starting the stream before the layout has finished fully loading, so libvlc has nowhere to draw.
